Where To Put All Those Houseplants I Brought in for the Winter
by
Judy
My houseplants have been thriving outdoors all summer. Now we're expecting frost and a long winter. Where on earth can I put them all when I bring them indoors? I need them to not just sit in rows on the floor or on a table, and wanted some vertical-ness to my little plant kingdom. AND, I wanted them at a height where I could easily water them.
My aluminum step ladder worked perfectly. I had an extra bookshelf that I laid across the top step and paint tray, then put plants on both sides of the shelf. With a little macrame cord, I tied some peppers and herbs that will dry naturally over the next couple months.
Check out my blog post for all the details and more photos.

My hibiscus flowers are planted outside and this is the third year they have come back and they have duplicated themselves as well you just have to make sure you have plenty of mulch on top to protect from freezing all I do is take a lot of the fallen leaves from my trees and pile them on top and viola they come back every year.
